"en": "<p data-HoCid=\"1331970\" data-originallang=\"en\">Mr. Speaker, I know my colleague's concern about this issue goes back a number of years. In 2006, he made a report on science and technology for the Liberal Party renewal commission. In that report, he suggested at that time that there is no process within our federal government to allow the development of a national science and technology strategy. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1331971\" data-originallang=\"en\"> Canada does not have a national science strategy, so quite clearly something has carried on from the previous Liberal administration to the Conservative administration, which turns its back on the development of a national science strategy.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1331972\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is this an issue that speaks to the nature of how both these parties view our economy as a branch plant economy, as an economy that is tied more to North America than an economy that can stand on its own feet with its own research?</p>",

En 2006, il a publi\u00e9 un rapport sur les sciences et la technologie pour la commission de renouveau du Parti lib\u00e9ral. Dans ce rapport, il laissait entendre qu'au sein du gouvernement f\u00e9d\u00e9ral, il n'existait pas de m\u00e9canisme permettant l'\u00e9laboration d'une strat\u00e9gie nationale en mati\u00e8re de sciences et de technologie.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1331971\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canada ne dispose toujours pas d'une strat\u00e9gie nationale relative aux sciences. De toute \u00e9vidence, une lacune du gouvernement lib\u00e9ral pr\u00e9c\u00e9dent a \u00e9t\u00e9 transmise au gouvernement conservateur actuel, qui refuse d'\u00e9laborer une strat\u00e9gie nationale en mati\u00e8re de sciences.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"1331972\" data-originallang=\"en\">Ce probl\u00e8me r\u00e9v\u00e8le-t-il que ces deux partis estiment que nous sommes dans une \u00e9conomie de succursales, qui est tributaire du continent nord-am\u00e9ricain, plut\u00f4t qu'une \u00e9conomie qui peut \u00eatre enti\u00e8rement autonome, avec sa propre fonction de recherche?</p>"
